Gradle Android构建：如何为使用的Android命令行构建工具指定选项。

Question

When I use Gradle to build my Android app, it executes a whole chain of Android command line build tools like 'dx' to build my apk.

Those command line tools all have 'options'. I would like to specify some of these options within my Gradle build. How is this possible?

Check out this answer , which shows that you can use dexTask.additionalParameters to pass additional arguments to the dx tool. An easy way to get access to the dexTask is from the variants list:

android.applicationVariants.all { variant ->
    Dex dexTask = variant.dex
    if (dexTask.additionalParameters == null) dex.additionalParameters = []
    // This is just an example:
    dexTask.additionalParameters += '--help'
    // you could use others, such as '--multi-dex', or anything else that appears in the '--help' output.
}

From the source of AndroidBuilder.java , you can see which commandline arguments are already being added to the dx tool before appending your additionalParameters .
